Lambda has kibitzed 928 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-17-13 Norway Chess Tournament (2013)    Lambda: Radjabov: Before the Candidates, I was thinking "this is where we find out whether he's the real deal or not". The answer has been pretty emphatic.      May-17-13 Magnus Carlsen    Lambda: Basic courtesy demands that you not 'bash' anyone without very good reason. They need to have done something seriously wrong. Whatever your opinions of Kramnik, I don't think you can accuse him of having done anything seriously wrong.      May-09-13 Anand-Carlsen World Championship (2013)    Lambda: <the men's world title> Because, you know, women should never be allowed to aspire to be the best. Got to keep those uppity women in their place, can't allow them to become transgressive like Judit.[/sarcasm]      May-07-13 J Negro vs Manuelli, 1983    Lambda: I was staring at 32. Qh4 trying to work out the catch, so obvious and un-puzzle-like it is.      Apr-30-13 Fischer vs Fine, 1963    Lambda: "One of the three leading American chess masters of the twentieth century" would be quite reasonable, since he's one of only three who you could credibly call the best player in the world at some point during that century. (Making the case for Pillsbury ahead of Lasker at any point ...      Apr-27-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    Lambda: <If Carlson is upset, he should have complained back at the last round of negotiations.> For Carlsen to complain about the hosting of the Anand-Gelfand match would have been a touch presumptuous.      Apr-22-13 Anand vs Adams, 2013    Lambda: A couple of Chessmetrics observations on older Korchnoi: He has two 2800+ performances past the age of 45. (The 1978 WC match, and the candidates match against Polugaevsky while getting there.) By comparison, Smyslov and Petrosian only have two 2800 performances in their entire ...      Apr-18-13 Fischer-Spassky (1992)    Lambda: +2 over 56 against the greatest player never to become world champion at the height of his powers is not to be sniffed at. This is a guy who for <four> successive candidates cycles beat everyone he played not called 'Karpov' or 'Kasparov' and destined to become champion. By the      Apr-18-13 C Thomson vs A Magalotti, 1988    Lambda: After 29... Kg6, I went with 30. g4, with an unstoppable deadly 31. Qh5+ coming.      Apr-16-13 Emanuel Lasker    Lambda: I seem to remember a game from the 1916 match being proposed as a possibility.
